Would you or wouldnt you?
My ? is this:
I have made friends with a farmer who has given me permission to hunt his land...But the area in which he will allow me to hunt is not very heavy with woods..
Here's the situation:
If you hold up your hand and extend only 3 fingers index,middle,ring..spread them ,this is what the woods is like with corn fields in between (of course when crops are in) a main road towards(your wrist) and and to the far left 100 or so yards away.. a very very steep cliff leading down to a creek towards the tips of your fingers..and thats it with the exception of an open field to the right which that does not belong to him..
There are other woods ajorning these (crossing the roads or the bridge to get to other side)also but absolutley no way of crossing this creek unless you cross the bridge to go to other side where there is more woods(his) and thick bedding area.. I have scouted this area for some time and found some tracks ..etc but it don't really look to promising, but could i be missing something here? He does have lots of ground(100's of acres, but already lets other hunters in different areas( this area as he says belongs to me for hunting he would not let another in that area).. I have pondered hunting this cause of lack of woods..
He also would like for me to come out and take care of some ground hogs for him..
I want to hunt private land but like i said its not alot of an area i can hunt.. (approx 40 acres with maybe 15-20 of it is the finger of woods that i descibed)But i am in hopes that the friendship can grow and maybe he will let me in to more promising areas.. But i don't want to or like to step on anyone elses toes and invade on their hunting.. I try to do my best to respect my fellow hunters as much i can cause i wood like for them to do the same for me..
Would any of you guys worry bout this or hunt this property if you were me?
I hunt public land now and would love nothing more than to be able to hunt private ground and i know how difficult it can be to gain permission from others..
imo..it seems if nothing else it may be good for early season..
I by no means will let this slip away, i have every intension of doing whatever i can to keep this..
Please give me your input, advice on what you would do if you were me..I appreciate any advice anyone can give..
If you need anymore info just ask me..
Sorry for this being so long..
